Anyone know where to find video/audio of this song being preformed live with Dio??? I've seen the short interview/live footage clip of the song on youtube, but it sucks because it doesn't even go through half of this epic masterpiece of a song.....

Are there any videos of it floating around? I know they used to play it live, then stopped because it was too intense for Cozy Powell, according to the liner notes on a Rainbow dvd I have from the "long live rock n roll" tour.

Any suggestions???

Goddamn, what an amazing song. For sure in the top 5 songs of all time. Dio's voice gives me chills in all the parts after the solo section....

Was actually listening to "Rising" just today. surely Dio's voice at it's strongest and actually still clear at high notes...Anyways, there is a fair sounding 2 cd licensed disc from around 5 or more years ago that has a long drawn out version of that song...like 20 minutes. You can probably find this on amazon even...can't remember the title but it is a 2 disc set from RAINBOW live...

Thanks a lot ! I may have to track that one down. I am hoping to find a video of it as well.
Thanks again!

Also check www.hellridemusic.com. Barnes carries many Sabbath & Rainbow titles. It looks like he currently has the "Live In Germany" 1976 2 CD set as well as the "Live In Munich 1977" DVD. Both feature live versions of Stargazer.

"Live in Munich" doesnīt have Stargazer on it - they seem to have dropped it in favour of Long Live Rock N Roll compared to the otherwise identical setlist of the 1976 tour.

btw: "Live in Europe" = American version of "Live in Germany". This one does indeed feature Stargazer. It is compiled from several german shows of the 1976 tour, of which three full sets are available in the box mentioned above. To my knowledge the "On Stage" recordings mainly come from the japanese shows of the 1976 tour with just a few german parts.

While I personally love all the Dio Era Rainbow live recordings and often prefer them to the studio versions, in the case of Stargazer I think the studio version canīt be topped (my favourite Rainbow song and one of the best songs ever, period!)._________________Reliable people: nexxxion, s.charlach, Celtichammer

Is the "Live in Munich" dvd the same as the "On Stage" dvd ??? I have that, and all it's missing is Stargazer.....
